Beverly Haydel and David Tatman Launch Frontline Strategies

BATON ROUGE, LA — Beverly Haydel announced today the creation of Frontline Strategies, a premier Louisiana Government relations firm formed through the strategic combination of Beverly’s previous firm, Sequitur Consulting and David Tatman’s firm, The Tatman Group.

Haydel will serve as President and CEO of Frontline Strategies and lead the firm’s strategic direction, client engagement, and advocacy efforts. She is joined by David Tatman, Doreen Brasseaux and Evan Alvarez, creating a team with decades of experience across Louisiana’s legislative and executive branches.

“Frontline Strategies was created to meet the moment,” said Haydel. “Louisiana’s policy environment is complex and constantly evolving. Our firm brings together institutional knowledge, trusted relationships, and disciplined advocacy to help clients navigate that landscape with confidence and clarity.”

Beverly understands the intersection of policy and politics, and her varied experience includes key leadership roles in the private, public, political and non-profit sectors. Her background as an attorney, policy expert, and political strategist equip her to help clients navigate the complexities of state government and advance their business interests in Louisiana and beyond.

David Tatman brings more than 35 years of government relations experience and a long record of public and civic leadership. Through her extensive background working within multiple agencies and offices of state government, Doreen Brasseaux brings an unparalleled knowledge of how to navigate state government to the team. Evan Alvarez adds contemporary executive-branch insight and strategic perspective, having worked in the Louisiana Governor’s Office for several years prior to joining Frontline Strategies. Together, the team represents a rare breadth of policy expertise and perspective on how to help clients accomplish their objectives in Louisiana.

Frontline Strategies serves clients across almost every key industry in Louisiana, including healthcare, energy, technology, gaming, finance, film and entertainment, and more. The firm’s services will include legislative advocacy, executive-branch engagement, strategic counsel, and government relations services for businesses,
